CNBC Joe Kernen asked with Anthony Scaramucci on Friday after the former White House communications director knocked Donald Trumphis former boss for using “threatening” rhetoric. about political enemies.

On CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Scaramucci — who only had a one-day stint in Trump’s White House in 2017 — said he disliked the “crassness” displayed by Trump’s successful 2024 presidential campaign.

Kernen responded by saying that the “rhetoric got all over the place” and that Scaramucci himself “got excited” at times, a statement that seemed to baffle the frequent Trump critic.

“How did I warm up? What did I say, Joe? Scaramucci asked.

“Anthony, you had total contempt for Trump. You will always be welcome at the traditional media table and you will have people nodding as you trash Trump,” Kernen told him.

“But aren’t you the least bit embarrassed or at least humbled by how wrong you were about the sentiment of the majority of Americans?” Kernen asked, pointing to Scaramucci “enthusiastically supporting a candidate that most people” didn’t want in the Oval Office.

Previously Scaramucci support the 2020 Democratic presidential campaign Joe Biden — which has seen low favorability ratings this year — and recently support Vice-President Kamala Harris‘ failed to follow.

Kernen described Harris’ policies as “anathema” to what Scaramucci, a Republican, believed “his whole life.”

“Do you ever eat any crow? Not even a little raven wing, like a little capon? he said.

Later, in an appearance on CNBC, Scaramucci sarcastically asked if Kernen wanted him to “take a knee” and said they had a “violent disagreement” about Trump’s personality.

“You like Trump,” Scaramucci said. “I must see the ugliest of what it is.”

“It was very good for your career,” Kernen interjected. “You’re here, aren’t you? And you will be welcome wherever you want to go.”
